-Mom, what are you doing?
-Chat with thousands of parents to decide together which little ones You should not have a cell phone until you are 16 years old.
-Because?
-Because you don’t control, you waste the day on your cell phone, on the networks, and also this way you won’t be the strange one because if it were up to me I wouldn’t give you a cell phone until you’re 18.
-Ah, well I guess thank you, mom. Will you play with me for a while?
-…
-Mother?
-Wait, I’m with this chat.

-Daughter, don’t you think you parents are going too far? You need a bit of a strong hand: if you don’t want him to have a cell phone, he doesn’t have one and that’s it. It won’t be that bad, he will survive. Furthermore, they have to wake up, because you are carrying them through cotton wool. That, or you educate her and agree with her on some rules, so that she takes responsibility for her.
-Well, if we do it like you did… no pacts or anything, and being the odd one out wasn’t pleasant at all, mom, I assure you. When you still wouldn’t let me go out and everyone else could, I stayed quite on the sidelines.

I don’t know how many houses this conversation could be reproduced between. women of three generations about how to be parents, how to be children and the traumas we accumulate, but I fear that in many. Today we are almost convinced that in the near future it will be rare to see 11-year-olds on social networks, however now we are fighting to reverse a habit that keeps the minds of adolescents captive. At the same time, we have to admit that those of us from the middle generation who are taking advantage of the purpose to hide two very particular characteristics of the way of being parents today: that we are also hooked on cell phones and that when family education does not coincide with the social currents We tend to give in sooner than our parents did. for fear that our children will become the odd ones in the class. We need the group. Maybe that goes hand in hand with what we saw and suffered as children, those “child things” from then on what we call ‘bullying’ today and we know that it can have terrible consequences.
